The Travertine Tide Bath

Shop the Look / 30

A large primary bath that turns a soaking tub and an ocean-view window into a calm daily ritual, with a double vanity for two

Who it's for: Homeowners with a roomy primary bath and a view who want natural stone, a freestanding tub and a serene California feel.

We imagined this primary bath as a quiet place to watch the tide. Cream travertine wraps the walls and floor, a white soaking tub sits right at the picture window, and linen shades filter the late-afternoon light. White oak, soft nickel and woven textures keep it warm and relaxed. Below, we share each piece we chose and the thinking behind it.

Illustrative rendering, not a photograph. Illustrative rendering of a warm California Modern primary bath with cream travertine square tile on the walls and floor; a white freestanding tub with a teak tray and a polished nickel floor-mounted filler sits in front of a large picture window with a light-filtering linen-color shade and an ocean view; on the left a white oak double vanity with a white top, two sinks, nickel faucets, glass soap pumps, an amber candle, a reed diffuser and a small plant, two round nickel mirrors and nickel sconces with clear glass; a round flush mount ceiling light; on the right a tall fern in a woven basket, a white two-piece toilet, a nickel towel bar with white towels, a nickel toilet paper holder, a wood ladder with towels, a woven hamper with a lid, a wood stool with a towel and a wicker basket; two navy bath mats and a long taupe runner on the floor. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

Notes

  • This is a tub-only primary bath. There is no shower in this room, and no shower is linked.
  • Cream travertine wall and floor tile: Both use the same listing, 10 sq ft per box (per the listing). We counted about 20 boxes for about 200 sq ft of wall and about 17 boxes for about 170 sq ft of floor (estimates).
  • 72" white oak double vanity: The listing is a freestanding vanity with a quartz top and two porcelain sinks included.
  • 59" freestanding soaking tub: The listing tub has a chrome overflow and drain, a slightly cooler finish than the polished nickel filler.
  • Linen cordless cellular shades: Three shades are counted to span the picture window; the render shows the window covered as one wide shade.
  • 36" round brushed nickel mirrors: Two are counted, one for each sink.
  • Brushed nickel 2-light globe sconce: The render shows clear glass sconces in its place rather than globes.
  • Sconces and the oval flush mount are hardwired; an electrician installs them.
  • Navy waffle bath mat: One mat is counted; the render shows two.
  • Towel bar, toilet paper holder, robe hooks and towel rings come from one 20-piece brushed nickel set listing.
  • The ladder, bench, wicker basket and terra cotta pots appear in the render without hotspots or differ in form from the listings; robe hooks, towel rings, hand towels and the toilet brush set aren't shown.
  • Bath towel, runner, toilet brush set and flush mount colors were not captured from the listings and may differ from the render.
  • Amazon sets product details, prices and availability, and they may change. Product finishes in the rendering are approximate.
